Trip Around the World!

I finally got most of my trip pictures imported onto my computer, now I just have to find the time to blog some of them. Believe me, there are many, many photos, some of them pretty good, some memorable, and a few dorky ones thrown in for good measure. When Erin, Jesse and I arrived at Dachau, I was so excited (in a sober sort of way) to visit the place that I have taught about for a few years. I still have pictures in my head that are so hard for me to comprehend. How a bunch of evil people could do the things they did to millions of people is hard to believe, and just being there was weird. I will post a couple of those pictures later. When we arrived in Frankfurt and rented our car, we had to find our way to Heidelberg, which was our first stay. If you talk to Erin, she'll probably tell you something way off base about me being hyper, silly, and snapping pictures at anything that moved. Well, actually, we were the ones moving...in our car. Speaking of cars, we traveled on the autobahn most of the time and that inside lane was officially the "zoom, zoom, zoom" lane. In kilometers, they averaged 140-160. Those were one of those moments I was glad I wasn't on the rental car's "official driver's list." I'll have to share a picture on my next blog that was a sign we saw all over Germany's roads...pretty funny.
